Unloading trucks on grade instead of at a dock sucks. Manual pallet jacks don't have brakes so I could see that happening if you're slightly down-grade. I only let my guys do that once when I was a warehouse manager. It was so sketchy that I forbade it afterwards. It's not worth it. Someone will get hurt. When I had to do it, I had them hand offload instead. That pallet jack is not controllable. It takes way longer, but no-one gets hurt.

Gorilla Salad posted:My favourite posts about AM radio tower ever made: Once, back in the 90's right by the HarMar mall (Twin Cities), I thought I was going insane. I was about 11. I was sitting in the back seat of the car and I told my parents to turn off the radio. They said it was off. I said, "but I hear voices". They insisted everything was off. I kept insisting that the voices needed to stop. Finally, I realized that I could hear the voices in just about anything metal in the car just by leaning my head against it. The whole car was acting as a receiver. That station must have been over powered that day beyond belief or there was a bad ground somewhere. CSB

Elliot2lazy posted:If you operate or plan to operate a forklift you will probably learn more from this spoof vid than any bullshit 80's video they give u to watch. This is very true. The first time I drove a forklift, I got my rear end handed to me when I had the forks too high. Staplerfahrer Klaus is probably the best training video of all time. My un-asked advise follows: Forks as low as possible. Sound your horn when crossing a blind entrance or any time you go between rows. Operate in reverse whenever possible (you need visibility when you have a skid on) If you have a cage, wear your seat belt and brace if you tip. If you don't have a cage, never wear your seat belt and make sure to jump. Know where you are and your load limits. You can tip if you're heavy and high. Never, ever, ever leave a knife or any detritus on top of a skid. Slow the gently caress down. You're not trying to beat any speed records and tipping a pallet makes everything worse. Plug if you can. Avoid using the brakes. Plugging saves you time on the charger if it's electric and the stop is smoother. Tip back to secure the load as long as it's not unstable.. Look at the pallets before you lift the skid. Sometimes they are so bad that they come apart. Especially the chipboard ones. If they do, pick them up, bash out all the supports, put a good pallet upside-down underneath it, set it down in the cutouts, and then pick it up again the right way. If your vendor loads using slip sheets, curse them and then get your biggest guys to help with the lifting and loading.

I'm sure I've posted regarding this before, but family farms are the worst places for safety violations. They are exempt from most requirements and your equipment is usually terrible. A neighbor of ours was de-gloved from one ankle to the other, including his genitals, because he stepped over a running PTO with loose pants. Unfortunately, he lived. I'm sure his life is hell. Never gently caress with a spinning shaft. The thing is, farmers always remove all the safety equipment on their tools or implements. It slows you down. You just have to be very, very careful at all times. I was always impressed by my Grandfathers wisdom on safety. Signal the operator of the machine with a whistle. He/she can't hear anything else. Wait to see that they put the machine in neutral or shut it off before approaching. Check your fluid, check your hydraulics, check your brakes. Don't use the brakes except for steering and coming to a complete halt. Use the throttle and keep it in gear. Always say out loud what you are doing so everyone around you knows. Even if it's just "I'm walking to your right!" Trust me, it makes a difference. Remember, when helping a farmer, "Ho!" is the correct call to stop whatever they are doing. "Stop" doesn't work. It can have multiple meanings. "Ho" is the equivalent of the Airforce's "Knock it off." Content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhvJ-eZHlGw Skip to 1:04 for quality driving.

tater_salad posted:This is a good display as to why you wear a harness even if "I walk around all day on these things and never have a problem" This is classic built up stress in a material. It looks stable but it has to release the twist when the load comes off. Last summer, my dad decided to limb a tree and I told him that there is likely a twist in the 200 year old large branch and to do it carefully. He decided to stick a ladder up and start cutting and ignore me. Unfortunately, this was over the phone. It threw him a good 10 feet. Thankfully he threw the chainsaw away from himself as he fell. His arm was all chewed up from the branch snapping back at him. Remember, both trees and steel are alive and they'll kick your rear end when the tension comes off.

Humphreys posted:I was sent to check on some stuff at another site my employee owns. Went into the warehouse and it was dark, like no lighting at all except what came through the roller doors. Funnily enough the side door I entered put me in the racks and racks of spare lighting bulbs they kept in stock. I can't even tell you how many times I rode a pallet up to the ceiling in my warehouse to change a light bulb or fix cabling. Just jump on the pallets until you find a good one and then up you go. It's hard to keep your balance when you're looking straight up. You just have to try to forget how high up you are and hold onto a ceiling beam as you look back down so you don't lose your balance. This was years ago. I was a warehouse manager for almost 7 years and never heard boo from OSHA.

zedprime posted:Dual drive controls are expensive. I used to be a warehouse manager, you drive backwards for visibility, but where you need accuracy is forward. Dual controls would be horrible. Honestly, it would slow you down. You never drive forward across the rows, but once the load is in the air you have good visibility forward. It seems unpleasant to look over your shoulder but it isn't that bad. You kind of twist your hips and it's almost like how you would lay on a chaise lounge sideways. You always use plugging so you don't have to worry about brakes and you never wear your belt. I should qualify that OSHA requires that you wear your belt but it's ridiculous. You couldn't get a thing done. When you get certified, you have to pretend to do it the OSHA way. The thing is, you can't put your arm outside the side guards per the rules so you have to crane your neck. It sucks. OSHA actually makes it worse to operate a forklift when it comes to backing.

Jerry Cotton posted:I've only worked with forklifts for a little over ten years but I've never seen one where the forks weren't kept in place by, you know, gravity even if you undid the catch. It can happen due to operator error. I have seen someone hook the forks up where only gravity and luck is holding one of them. If you don't have the top and bottom catches fully engaged, they can fall off if you smack the bottom of the fork. You have to be completely incompetent to do this, but it can be done with sheer talent.

Smirk posted:...I wonder why they couldn't retrieve it from the drill and reattach it, rather than taking skin from elsewhere. Likely it would be covered in grease and machine oil. Probably not salvageable. When I was in college, we used to put a chuck key in the chuck of a drill press to make a vibrating table for getting rid of air bubbles in silicon molds. That drill press wasn't good for anything else. It was a garbage machine that barely worked. One day, a fellow student decided to lean over and look at his mold and the machine caught his hair. Thank Christ that his hair came off. He did get pulled into the machine and bang his head, but he didn't lose his scalp. All of us were so relieved that we didn't have what that video showed happen to him. We then chewed his rear end off for not paying attention.

ReelBigLizard posted:Best practice when working on old diesels is to have something that can quickly and easily block the air intake(s) completely. A piece of wood will do, even a damp rag to stuff in the throttle body, but have something ready. Another option is to block the exhaust or even, so I have heard, crimp the exhaust by bending or crushing it. Use a plank over the intake. A diesel will pull anything soft straight through the exhaust. It will eat a phone book, poo poo it out the back, and keep going. Someone else mentioned a CO2 extinguisher. That will work if there's enough charge to give the machine enough time to stop turning. Hydro-locking the engine will work but it will tear itself apart and ruin it. Best is to make sure that the turbo or head doesn't have an oil leak before turning it over. Another good option is to run away and just let the engine destroy itself. It's probably hosed at that point anyway. An engine with a redline of 1800 rpm is probably not OK at 8000 rpm. Thank god I've never had it happen to me. I'd be pissing myself if it happened out of nowhere. Remember, equipment can be replaced, you can't.

Nitrox posted:How often will anyone who is not an electrician, even have access to more than 220V? Most people will use multimeters to troubleshoot their brake lights. The harbour freight coupon special is great for that 240V is common on farms and you do need a good multimeter to troubleshoot issues with dryer fans, mills, seed cleaning equipment, etc. It seems like you're always rewiring live cable. You don't have time to find the breaker that could be 100 ft away. You just do it live and make sure that you don't earth. Though you always end up making a mistake. Yes, 240V hurts like a motherfucker. 110 is like a kiss on the cheek from the love of your life compared to 240. I'd never mess with anything over 240.

dis astranagant posted:Everyone I ever knew who worked in industry had plenty of stories about people working on 110 whose hands involuntarily clamped down on the lines when they were shocked and died from the prolonged current. For sure. That's why you always wear good boots and work with only one hand on equipment that's live. Tuck the other hand into your belt so you don't forget. That's pretty non OSHA, but it tends to work. At least you only burn your hand that way. Speaking of being un-isolated, my father was welding in the hopper of a combine once and I was sitting below turning the welder off and on for him. The whole combine was grounded. He forgot, and grabbed the rod to change it instead of telling me to turn it off first. I heard the sound of a grounded out rod from the machine and shut it off. He said "thank you". He was getting 100 amps through his body and out his rear end and couldn't let go. He's lucky he didn't die.

tater_salad posted:Why did the machine run when open? It's clear that the door is "field expedient". Normally machinery like that is covered in guards and lockouts. For the stamping presses used by the company my buddy runs, he used to use 2 levers that are pulled with 2 hands, far too apart to get your body in the way, that would engage the press so you couldn't possibly get stuck in the machine. He then switched to an IR sensor interrupt that would emergency stop, then lock out the machine allowing for a single button press if you ever broke the plane of the gate. Apparently that's the new cool thing.

That's par for the course in a warehouse. No one will admit to damaging anything. I used to tell my guys when I was a warehouse manager, "Just tell me if you break something." I don't care, I know it was a mistake, I just need to know. They never would. They were so afraid of being punished, even though I never punished anyone for mistakes, they would clam up. I once noticed that a security camera had been moved so that it no longer covered an area of high value product. I asked everyone if they had moved it. No, no, no... is all I got. I became paranoid that someone was stealing as the items being covered were small with hundreds of SKUs and would have taken a shutdown to do a physical inventory. The camera was set about 15 feet high on a column so I knew that it would take purpose to move it. I didn't know what time it had happened, so I had to watch security footage for forever to determine that one of my forklift drivers had nailed the column hard enough to jog the camera over and tried to pretend that it didn't happen. Just loving tell me! I won't punish you! I just need to know. You're not a baby! I won't give you a spanking.

Volcott posted:Wildly disproportionate punishments for not telling you when the gently caress up and headpats when they do. They were all hard workers, just reliable third time losers. They showed up on time and were the best crew I'd had in 10 years. That is about the best you could hope for with the salaries that we paid. I wasn't allowed to do the hiring, only management of the staff. We once had 8 employees disappear one day due to immigration issues. Another staff member we had looked like a hard-time criminal gang member. He constantly said "Don't judge me because of my looks." His mom called us to tell us that he had stolen product from our warehouse. He even said "Don't judge me." as he ran in circles around the outside of the warehouse until my co-manager caught him cartoon style. No charges, we just made him do the walk of shame to his mom's car when she came to pick him up. He must have been about 40 years old. Had a guy put the mast through the top of a truck once, that was fun for our insurance. Another dude decided to try to drive onto a truck without the dock plate. Took a dozen guys and many prying implements to get him unstuck. Another dude took out a support column for a mezzanine we had. Knocked it a foot back and we had to evacuate the room for safety. Trust me, if a guys worst sin is bumping a pole a little bit, they're probably the best staff member you've ever had.

The tires on the truck caught on fire as it was winter and the snow was deep enough to make a circuit. He saw the fire and had no idea what the problem was. He grabbed the fire extinguisher on the side of the truck and was dead instantaneously. The other loggers tried CPR until an ambulance showed up, but he was DRT. They guys that attempted CPR are lucky they didn't die themselves.

Whenever we needed pallets, I'd get them from UPS. They always had leftovers. We'd stack the lovely ones outside and our cardboard guy would take them for firewood or neighboring warehouses would steal them. Pallets are a strange commodity in the shipping industry.

I may have mentioned it before, but I once lost a hydraulic control line on our Ford 8600 back when I was a kid on the farm. It started spraying but I couldn't find where it was spraying from. Like an idiot, I reached my hand behind the left set of duals, with the tractor running, to feel for it.

Three-Phase posted:...I would treat that system like it's dangerous until proven otherwise. I just realized that we had a good OSHA moment today at work with wiring. We had a lamp that would flicker in one room when a machine was used in the other. The overhead florescents would also flicker which makes no sense. An electrician for the building came in and spent an hour yelling at his apprentice for his idiocy while he fixed it. That circuit included our lobby, a treatment room, the overhead lights, and THE loving ELEVATOR in the common area. It should have tripped the breaker but it somehow didn't. I assume it was powering the controls of the elevator as there's no way that a hydraulic elevator runs off 110v. I don't know how he hosed it up that bad. I don't even know how it's possible. Then again, my grandfather wired a 110v circuit to put out a consistent 23.5v for no good reason. He's dead now so I can't ask. I just found it the other day with my multi-meter.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Electric clock? Some of them ran on that voltage. In particular, master-slave clocks often ran at 24DC. Would he have had access to office/factory salvage? He worked in a steel mill so definitely.
